Can i wax over Liquid gold class wax with Tech Wax 2.0. this is what i read lets hear from our experts thanks

"Meguiar’s does not recommend layering Tech Wax 2.0 over another sealant or wax. It has slight cleaning properties, but one coat is all you need to achieve dramatic results"

Re: Tech wax 2.0

Yes you can. Gold Class has more cleaning power than Tech Wax. You might see a little more of a pop with Tech Wax, but you will definitely be extending your protection with Tech Wax over GC.

It's reverse. Tech Wax 2.0 should go first and then you can top it with carnauba. Synthetic wax should be your base.
Now you can use another coat of Gold Class or M26 for extra protection.

Re: Tech wax 2.0

What do i do?

It all depends on the current stage of your car paint and what level you want to achieve.
For show car shine:
1. Wash
2. Clay
3. Clean (Ultimate Compound/ ScratchX 2.0, SwirlX)
4. Polish
5. Wax,
For minor imperfections:
1. Wash
2. Clay
3. Clean/ Polish (Dual Action Cleaner Polish M83, Paint Reconditioning Cream D151)
4. Wax
For good condition paint:
1. Wash
2. Clay
3. Cleaner Wax (Quick Detailer M66, ColorX, Cleaner Wax M6)
4. Extra Wax - as option.
Waxes:
Synthetic - longest protection - Tech Wax 2.0, Synthetic Sealant 2.0 M21, Polymer Sealant M20,
Natural (Carnauba) - best shine - Gold Class Carnauba Plus, Hi-Tech Yellow Wax M26).

Your baby is brand new then.
However sometimes even brand new cars require claying after washing because they have been kept outside before purchase.
Dennis, after you wash your car do a clay test: gently rub your clean hand on the hood of your vehicle, if you feel some bumps (you can hear them as well) then you have bonded contaminants on your paint - you need to clay. If you don't feel/ hear anything you can skip claying. You can put your hand inside zipper bag to perform this test as well.
Clay bar prepares your paint surface and removes all dirts seating on top of it which your car wash can't remove. Remember, car wax stays on top of your paint as well so for longer and better wax protection it's worth to do it.
In your case I'd use just a cleaner wax next. It's your choice: M66 Quick Detailer, ColorX, Cleaner/ Wax M6. After that you can still use your favorite wax - natural or synthetic.
All of these products you can apply by hand but you're gonna get better results with cleaner wax polisher application.
Good luck !!!

Yes, you can use GC over TechWax 2.0. In fact, the new GCCP is actually works as good (or even better) as a topper.

Re: Tech wax 2.0

Re: Tech wax 2.0

1/3 of a bottle? I don't use more than an ounce or 1.5 ounces even when doing my dad's Honda Pilot or my sister'a 2010 Honda CR-V.

Re: Tech wax 2.0

are you sure how is that possible must be that I'm doing a white vehicle and with a white liquid wax I just wish they would come out with a darker wax to use on lighter paint finishes, hey that gives me an idea any body know a good patent lawyer?
